"MOM, YOU ARE YET TO GIVE ME WHAT I ASKED YOU, PLEASE, I'M LEAVING FOR SCHOOL NOW" Cynthia says as she runs down the stairs, she sees her brother, Tommy stealing meats from the pot on the dining table as she walks in... "Seriously Tom, I see you" Tommy is a chubby of 15years old, with his hair styled to match his face, looking like half Mexican, half Nigerian...

"Don't tell, if you do, I'll report you too" he says to her ..

"Whatever" she responds to his bluff and walks up to her Dad in the living room to kiss him a pek, "Good morning Dad", she says

"Good morning, my favorite" he says in a low voice..

"Really? Dad, I can hear you" Tommy screams from the dinning room, which is just adjacent to the living room with a 56" inches TV screen wide enough opposite two three seaters and neat with a sparkling Chandelier in the middle...

"Just kidding" Mr Tolbert says to Tommy, his son as they all smile...

Mrs Tolbert walks majestically down the stairs with a jean and her blouse brown caressing her well cupped breast, jingling her car keys as she walks down...

"No way, you'll leave looking like that" Mr Tolbert says...

He looks around to see the presence of his children and says, "sorry darlings, your mom and I would be having a bit of conversation upstairs, he says as he gesture his wife to go back upstairs and he follows...

"They think we're kids, I hate it" Tommy says...

"Of course, you are a kid" Cynthia says

"_Hell nah and you are not a kid?"

_"I'm 17, I won't be in a year"

_" duh, you still a kid until you 21" he barks at her...

_"nah, we not in Louisiana anymore, we are in Nigeria now and 18 is adult here"...

_" I hate this country, I wanna go back home" Tommy says...

_" Dad says here is home for now and how long have we been here? Suck it" she says as she walks past him to the dinner to fix herself a slide bread and jam

_"don't you miss home, C?"

_"No, I don't" she replies but with a change countenance...

_" you miss him still, don't you?" He speaks slowly

_"shut up!!" She yells.. she leaves him to the dinning and screams "Mom, I'm getting late"...

_"Do you still remember his name? Or you forgot him so fast C?" He says...

She looks like she's going to break down in tears...

"Stop it" the father says to Tommy... "And starting now you must not mention his name in this house" he adds

"You mean that low life boy in the states? I thought you over that, find someone better here in Nigeria, and it's been 3months and you adapting well sweetheart..." Mrs Tolbert says as she walks down with a decent gown but her back view is a great view to get lost in, doesn't matter what she puts on as she walks majestically down....

Tommy hits the table and says "Dad, I'mma say it one last time pleaseee"

"No!!! Don't" they all yell

"Hybrid!!!" He says sharply...

"Let that be the last time you mention his name here okay" his father says as he picks him up and pushes him out playfully...

"You know you not a kid anymore" Mrs Tolbert says to Tommy as they walk out of the house to the car...

"I know, I am a kid of the century" he says laughing..

"It's 2015, and in no time, it will be 2016, which means you'll be 16 soon" Cynthia added...

"Enough kids!"  Mr Tolbert says as he waves them  goodbye and Mrs Tolbert drives off..
